Little things / Small QoL suggestions (old)

Are you blind? Can you not see the screen? Can you not see that your drones are taking damage?

An auditory warning would only serve AFK’ers in drone boats who are alt-tabbed out. We need less of that, not more…

Clearly you dont use drones

Yes, I do. It’s called drone management. If you are going up against something that you know eats drones, let them aggro your ship first before you deploy your drones. If they start taking damage, pull them back in. It’s that simple…

If you use drones you wouldnt be against an alert if they take damage

Like I said, it would only serve the lazy and AFK’ers…

It would serve anyone who use drones, if you dont like it you can turn the sound off

I use drones and i look at their health. I lose one, ofw, my bad. Less alerts the better

An afker wont do that. Thats our point

Suggestion: Physical tokens in LP stores
Keywords: LP, Store, Market
Note: Physical tokens in LP stores allows players to cash out / withdraw LP to inventory which opens up for trading them in for example Jita among other things

I’ve wanted that for a very long time. But why to the inventory as a physical object? Why not to its own wallet like the PLEX vault?

Why not have everything in its own inventory

Just saying, if you make it a physical tradeable object, then it can be stolen. Much like PLEX can be if you take it out of the vault and convert it to a physical object. Not too many players are stupid enough to run around with physical PLEX in their cargo hold…

if you make it a physical tradeable object, then it can be stolen

Thanks captain obvious

Just make it tradeable on the market directly from the LP wallet. I have millions of LP in various corps that I will probably never spend because, due to changes in the LP stores, they are all but worthless.

Suggestion: Fade or otherwise mark entities in overview that are in warp sequence and thus untargetable
Keywords: Ratting, NPC, targeting, warp, overview
Note: The overview does not distinguish between a target that is targetable or not due to for example warp which leads to depressing spam clicking

Suggestion: Drones auto guard fleet members
Keywords: drones, fleet, guard
Note: Drones guard other fleet members while mining
Currently drones only protect their owner and not other members in a fleet. It would be great for example during a mining op, that one pilot can launch combat drones and when the few rats that do come by they will automatically guard other fleet mates. Maybe set this behavior to a toggle, like the auto attack and focus fire options.

This is already a feature. You can tell your drones to guard another fleet member. You can also “loan” your drones to another fleet member. Right click on a drone. You see the options for “Guard” and “Assist”? That’s what you’re wanting…

no its not what i am wanting and I am aware of this feature, I am talking about the native feature of drones to protect their owner automatically. It would be nice for this behavior to carry over for situations like mining ops… In active combat yea I use this… I am not sure why if a fleet member is getting shot at by some ratts and they are literally next to my ship why my drones just sit idle unless actively told to defend. It doesn’t make sense.

Suggestion: Automatically rejoin fleet on disconnect
Keywords: Fleet, launcher
Note: At the moment if getting disconnected or restarting the game you will no longer be in fleet upon logging in again even if if you came back instantly
